The semigroupoids package

Provides a wide array of (semi)groupoids and operations for working with them.

A Semigroupoid is a Category without the requirement of identity arrows for every object in the category.

A Category is any Semigroupoid for which the Yoneda lemma holds.

When working with comonads you often have the <*> portion of an Applicative, but
not the pure. This was captured in Uustalu and Vene's "Essence of Dataflow Programming"
in the form of the ComonadZip class in the days before Applicative. Apply provides a weaker invariant, but for the comonads used for data flow programming (found in the streams package), this invariant is preserved. Applicative function composition forms a semigroupoid.

Similarly many structures are nearly a comonad, but not quite, for instance lists provide a reasonable extend operation in the form of tails, but do not always contain a value.

This lets us remove many of the restrictions from various monad transformers
as in many cases the binding operation or <*> operation does not require them.

Finally, to work with these weaker structures it is beneficial to have containers
that can provide stronger guarantees about their contents, so versions of Traversable
and Foldable that can be folded with just a Semigroup are added.

Flags

You can disable the use of the `containers` package using `-f-containers`.
Disabing this is an unsupported configuration, but it may be useful for accelerating builds in sandboxes for expert users.

Enabled

contravariant

You can disable the use of the `contravariant` package using `-f-contravariant`.
Disabling this is an unsupported configuration, but it may be useful for accelerating builds in sandboxes for expert users.
If disabled we will not supply instances of `Contravariant`

Enabled

distributive

You can disable the use of the `distributive` package using `-f-distributive`.
Disabling this is an unsupported configuration, but it may be useful for accelerating builds in sandboxes for expert users.
